Here is the 19th installment of the Dreams of Consciousness podcast, focusing on sludge/doom metal bands from South East Asia, and featuring an interview with Malaysian sludge band Gaur. I sat down with the whole band at Rumah Api at the end of February to talk about their history, their upcoming release, and their thoughts on what separates "sludge punk" from "doom metal".
